Just found this report which tested MINPACK and NL2SOL on a problem originating from a heart model: > A New Nonlinear Equations Test Problem, J.E. Dennis, Jr., David M. Gay, and Phuong Ahn Vu, Technical Report 83-1.P, December 1985. A Google search gives a PDF copy at the following address: https://scholarship.rice.edu/bitstream/handle/1911/101557/TR83-16.pdf Aside from the report, Fortran source code for the problem can also be found in [`opt/dqed.f`](http://www.netlib.org/opt/dqed.f) on Netlib.
